Chapter 267 The Love I Missed in Those Years
"A very clever transition design, through a paper airplane flying between two windows, time and space are traveled without leaving a trace."
Li Wen, a film critic sitting in the back seat of the No. 1 screening room, was writing down her notes in her notebook.
At the beginning of the movie, it left a very good impression on all the viewers.
Wu Yuan, who was sitting in the first row, raised his eyebrows and was a little surprised.
In the script, he did not design this plot. Obviously, this scene was designed by Li Yang himself.
The effect is not bad!
Wu Yuan is not the kind of director who insists that the director shoot according to the details of the script after giving the script.
The act of making a movie is actually a very self-centered thing.
If you give the same script and the same script content to two different directors to shoot, the final film will definitely not be exactly the same, and there will even be a big difference.
The script can only guarantee the end of a movie and ensure that the main plot is fine, while the director determines the upper limit of a movie.
There is no doubt that Li Yang has a much higher ceiling than directors like Jiubadao who are pure newcomers or even amateurs.
"Don't be nervous." Looking at Liu Yifei, who was tense and listening to the discussion of the film critics in the back row, Wu Yuan whispered to comfort her:
"Director Li Yang did a great job, you and Yawen also acted very well, believe in yourself."
"This movie will be a success."
The main storyline of Li Yang's version of "Those Years" is no different from the original version, but the lens language and style presented are different from Jiubadao.
Better than him!
After all, Li Yang graduated from the directing department of Beijing Film Academy. Every student who was admitted to the directing department before Beijing Film Academy expanded its enrollment can be said to be gifted.
The story of the movie "Those Years" itself is not complicated at all, and can even be said to be very simple.
The male protagonist Ke Jingteng and his gay friends like the beautiful and well-behaved girl in the class at the same time.
They are ignorant and full of yearning for love.
They use all their self-righteous tricks and means to express their love in a clumsy way.
But until the end of their youth, none of them managed to get the girl.
Including Ke Jingteng, who seemed very promising.
The love of teenagers is always passionate and pure.
When he failed the college entrance examination, Ke Jingteng took off his clothes to wipe Shen Jiayi's tears.
During the holidays, Ke Jingteng waited tirelessly by the phone to contact Shen Jiayi.
They spent their first Christmas together, eating snacks together, playing together, walking on the rails together, taking walks together, and releasing Kongming lanterns together.
Although no one said the confession, it seemed that they were already doing something that only lovers would do.
But what makes love love and hate is its uncertainty.
Especially during the throbbing of adolescence, no one can be sure whether the girl they like will agree to be with them.
Because he was afraid of failure, Ke Jingteng asked the question "Let's be together" across the Kongming lantern when he was releasing it, but he refused to hear Shen Jiayi's answer.
I only dared to write "Let's be together?" on the Kongming lantern.
When all the audience thought that the window paper of love between Ke Jingteng and Shen Jiayi was about to be broken, the plot took a sharp turn.
The love that was originally possible became more and more unknown as the Kongming lantern rose slowly.
Youth itself is a regret.
In the eyes of good students, fighting may be a fight. Because of this, the two had a disagreement.
In Shen Jiayi's eyes, Ke Jingteng was childish and ignorant.
In Ke Jingteng's eyes, Shen Jiayi didn't understand and didn't understand herself.
Girls' maturity always catch boys off guard.
There is a very good saying in the movie.
"The cruelest part of growing up is that girls are always more mature than boys of the same age. No boy can resist the maturity of girls."
After this quarrel, and the fact that the two were admitted to different universities, the two who were already very close gradually drifted away again.
Until, two years later, a sudden earthquake occurred. Ke Jingteng held up his PHS and looked for a place with a signal everywhere, wanting to call Shen Jiayi, fearing that she would have any accident.
At the same time, Shen Jiayi on the other end was also the same.
It turned out that the two still couldn't forget each other.
If that sentence was said at that time, would everything be different?
"If there is a parallel time and space, we may be together there."
When Ke Jingteng looked up at the starry sky and said this to the PHS, Shen Jiayi in the movie and the audience outside the movie were silent.
"If"
This is really a beautiful word.
Unfortunately, there is no if in this world.
Ke Jingteng finally missed Shen Jiayi.
Just like most people missed the beloved girl in their youth.
Shen Jiayi got married, and Ke Jingteng was not the groom.
It turned out that the scene at the beginning of the movie was that Ke Jingteng was going to attend Shen Jiayi's wedding with his gay friends.
As a guest.
In the clinking of glasses, scenes from time flooded into my mind.
So many years have passed, Ke Jingteng thought he would not wish Shen Jiayi happiness.
But he found that he hoped that the girl he liked was loved and happy, even if the person in the end was not him.
In the most beautiful youth, it is also a pity to be separated from the most favorite girl.
Things that have been had are beautiful, and life is to grow up in constant misses.
But it is those missed things that made us who we are today.
Of course, at the end of the movie, the easter egg appears.
Wu Yuan plays the cameo role of Shen Jiayi's husband, wearing a white suit and holding Shen Jiayi's arm.
When Wu Yuan's face was revealed, I don't know how many viewers burst into laughter after being stunned.
It's nothing else, there was a rumor between Wu Yuan and Liu Yifei, and it was once a big rumor.
Generally, artists in the circle who are rumored to have a scandal will not say that they will never contact each other again, but they will deliberately keep their distance to prevent the scandal from going too far.
It is not very popular to hype up scandals and CPs now.
After all, today's celebrities and artists have to go for a single persona and rely on a single persona to attract fans.
Liu Yifei is the same. Although she did not deliberately go for a single persona, her fans, whether male or female, obviously don't want to see her fall in love.
Logically speaking, Wu Yuan should try to avoid having overly intimate behaviors and actions with her on stage.
But he still came to guest star as Shen Jiayi's husband.
Many smart audiences showed ambiguous smiles on their faces.
However, more audiences' attention was still on the big screen.
"Those Years" did not have the bloody routines of abortion, car accidents, and terminal illnesses. It just told a story of a missed love, simple and plain.
There was no complete story line, and the narrative rhythm was bland, but it brought people more touching.
Because this is the youth that once happened to everyone.
It is precisely because of this simple and ordinary that people feel more intimate.
At the end of the movie, Ke Jingteng rushed out and violently kissed the groom played by Wu Yuan.
The flashing lights brought people to the parallel time and space that Ke Jingteng hoped to exist.
There, the four big words "Okay, together!" were written on the Kongming lantern.
There, after the quarrel, Ke Jingteng returned to Shen Jiayi, wiped her tears, and said to her: "I'm sorry I'm too naive."
Perhaps, in a parallel time and space, Ke Jingteng and Shen Jiayi did not miss each other and lived happily together.
But this happiness is obviously not what the current Ke Jingteng can enjoy.
The scene in the movie returns to reality from parallel time and space.
After being scolded for being childish in the rain, the heartbroken Ke Jingteng cried with snot.
Wu Yuan smacked his lips and said with some surprise: "Ya Wen's crying scene is good."
"It is this kind of sincere crying that makes people moved and unforgettable."
"Hey, Ya Wen, how did you prepare when filming this scene? The effect is very good!"
Zhu Ya Wen's crying scene was indeed well acted, which is one of the highlights of the whole film.
Other actors also looked at Zhu Ya Wen curiously, wanting to learn from him.
Only Zhu Ya Wen smiled awkwardly, "No, no, no, I just acted blindly, I can't say how to prepare."
As he spoke, Zhu Ya Wen's eyes also glanced at Wu Yuan, his eyes were very resentful.
How did he act in this crying scene?
Of course, he put his own feelings into it!
Which feelings did he put into it?
Of course, it is the life of a loser who failed in secret love!
"Shen Jiayi" is also his youth!
He used his actual experience to prove that secret love in school period, how many are successful?
Most of them have unsatisfactory endings.
Zhu Yawen can also completely substitute himself into the role of Ke Jingteng.
Not only him, most of the guests who watched the premiere can easily substitute themselves into the story.
Which teenager has not liked the girl in the class who has a delicate appearance and good grades, and then after many years, it ended in vain.
In addition, attending classes, taking exams, passing notes, whispering, checking grades, fighting wits with teachers
Every clip in the movie can remind people of their own memories, and all the images are so real, just like yesterday's self.
Who doesn't have his own years and his own Shen Jiayi?
"Those Years, We Chased the Girl Together"
The "we" here refers to every audience who watched this movie.
The last shot of the film is a close-up of a red envelope.
On the red envelope, there were eight characters written: "Happy wedding, my youth."
The movie ended with the BGM of "Those Years" playing again.
It was not until this moment that the audience understood what the scene at the beginning of the movie, where Ke Jingteng combed his hair like an adult and put on a handsome suit, meant.
"Pa pa pa pa pa---!"
The four screening rooms were already drowned in applause before the end credits of the movie appeared.
The vast majority of the guests who came to watch the movie were born in the 1980s.
And in the years since they entered society, they have only been working hard for houses and cars, and stress and fatigue have already eroded their bodies and minds.
The appearance of the movie "Those Years" immediately caused a huge sigh.
This movie tells the story of their former youth!
Everyone had an idea in their hearts after watching this movie.
I don't know if I can meet the Shen Jiayi/Ke Jingteng who I once missed in a parallel time and space.
If I meet, will I be brave enough to hold his hand this time?
"The heavy rain I missed in those years, the love I missed in those years."
"I really want to hug you, hug the courage I missed."
Listening to this ending song, countless guests shouted with red eyes and smiles:
"It's beautiful!"
"This is my youth!"
"I want to read it again!"
I'm going to Chengdu for a few days. I've been on the road all day today, changing planes, and I'm still on the road now.
I typed this chapter on my phone on the plane.
This is the chapter for today. I will update it normally in the next few days. It's impossible to stop updating. Please rest assured.
I will try to update two chapters of 6,000 to 8,000 words before 12 o'clock every night
